1 Goocai Jehova. Cookeriai Jehova ngaatho, nĩgũkorwo nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga nginya tene.
Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
2 Nũũ ũngiuga ciĩko cia hinya cia Jehova, kana aanĩrĩre kũna ũgooci wake wothe?
Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?
3 Kũrathimwo-rĩ, nĩ arĩa marũmagia kĩhooto, arĩa meekaga ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire hĩndĩ ciothe.
Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4 Ndirikanaga, Wee Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ũgwĩka andũ aku wega, ũndeithagie rĩrĩa ũkũmahonokia,
Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,
5 nĩguo ngenagĩre ũgaacĩru wa andũ aku athuure, nĩguo ngwatanagĩre gĩkeno-inĩ kĩa rũrĩrĩ rwaku, na nyiitanagĩre na igai rĩaku tũgĩkũgooca.
That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance.
6 Ithuĩ nĩtwĩhĩtie, o ta ũrĩa maithe maitũ meehirie; nĩtwĩkĩte ũũru na tũkaagana.
We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7 Rĩrĩa maithe maitũ maarĩ Misiri, matiarũmbũirie ciama ciaku; matiigana kũririkana ũtugi waku mũingĩ, na makĩrema marĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria, o Iria rĩu Itune.
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 No nĩamahonokirie nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩake, nĩguo atũme hinya wake mũnene ũmenyeke.
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 Nĩakũũmire Iria Itune, narĩo rĩkĩhũa; akĩmagereria kũu kũriku taarĩ werũ-inĩ.
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
10 Nĩamahonokirie guoko-inĩ kwa andũ arĩa maamathũire; akĩmakũũra kuuma guoko-inĩ gwa thũ.
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Maaĩ macio nĩmahubanĩirie amuku ao; gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao watigarire.
And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.
12 Hĩndĩ ĩyo magĩĩtĩkia ciĩranĩro ciake, na makĩmũinĩra, makĩmũgooca.
Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.
13 No makĩriganĩrwo o narua nĩ ũrĩa ekĩte, na matiigana gweterera ũtaaro wake.
They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,
14 Marĩ kũu werũ-inĩ makĩnyiitwo nĩ thuti; makĩgeria Mũrungu marĩ kũu gũtagĩĩaga kĩndũ.
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩmahe kĩrĩa maamwĩtirie, no akĩmatũmĩra mũrimũ wa kũmanyariira.
And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.
16 Ningĩ nĩmaiguĩrĩire Musa ũiru marĩ kũu kambĩ-inĩ, o na makĩiguĩra Harũni ũiru, o ũcio wamũrĩirwo Jehova.
They envied Moses also in the camp, [And] Aaron the saint of Jehovah.
17 Thĩ ĩgĩatũka na ĩkĩmeria Dathani; ningĩ ĩgĩthika thiritũ ya Abiramu.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.
18 Mwaki ũgĩakana gatagatĩ-inĩ ka arũmĩrĩri ao; rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũgĩcina andũ acio aaganu.
And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.
19 Nĩmathondekire gacaũ marĩ kũu Horebu, makĩhooya mũhianano ũtweketio kuuma kũrĩ kĩgera.
They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.
20 Maakũũranirie Riiri wa Ngai na mũhianano wa ndegwa ĩrĩa ĩrĩĩaga nyeki.
Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
21 Makĩriganĩrwo nĩ Mũrungu ũrĩa wamahonokirie, ũrĩa wekĩte maũndũ manene kũu bũrũri wa Misiri,
They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,
22 akĩringa ciama bũrũri wa Hamu, na agĩĩka mawĩko ma gwĩtigĩrwo Iria-inĩ Itune.
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible things by the Red Sea.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akiuga nĩekũmaniina, tiga nĩ Musa, ũrĩa we aathurĩte, warũgamire mbere yake, akĩmũthaitha ndakamaniine na mangʼũrĩ make.
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].
24 Ningĩ makĩnyarara bũrũri ũcio mwega, makĩaga gwĩtĩkia kĩĩranĩro gĩake.
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,
25 Makĩnuguna marĩ hema-inĩ ciao, na makĩaga gwathĩkĩra Jehova.
But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.
26 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akĩoya guoko na igũrũ, akĩĩhĩta atĩ nĩakamangʼaũranĩria kũu werũ-inĩ,
Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 angʼaũranĩrie njiaro ciao kũu gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, aciharaganĩrie kũu mabũrũri-inĩ guothe.
And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
28 Nĩmeyohanirie na Baali ya Peoru, na makĩrĩa magongona maarutĩirwo ngai itarĩ muoyo;
They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 magĩtũma Jehova arakare nĩ ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao cia waganu, naguo mũthiro ũgĩtuthũka gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.
30 No Finehasi akĩrũgama na igũrũ, akĩherithia arĩa maarĩ na mahĩtia, naguo mũthiro ũgĩthira.
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.
31 Ũhoro ũcio ũgĩtũma atuuo nĩ mũthingu kũrĩ njiarwa na njiarwa nginya tene.
And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.
32 Nao makĩrakaria Jehova hau maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba, nake Musa agĩkinyĩrĩrwo nĩ thĩĩna nĩ ũndũ wao;
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;
33 nĩgũkorwo nĩmaremeire Roho wa Ngai, nake Musa akĩaria ciugo itaagĩrĩire.
Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34 Matiigana kũniina ndũrĩrĩ icio ta ũrĩa Jehova aamaathĩte,
They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,
35 no nĩgũtukana maatukanire na ndũrĩrĩ, na makĩrũmĩrĩra mĩtugo yao.
But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,
36 Makĩhooya mĩhianano yao, ĩrĩa yatuĩkire mũtego kũrĩ o.
And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.
37 Makĩrutĩra ndaimono aanake na airĩtu ao marĩ magongona.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
38 Magĩita thakame ĩteehĩtie, thakame ya aanake na airĩtu ao, arĩa maarutire marĩ magongona kũrĩ mĩhianano ya Kaanani, naguo bũrũri ũgĩthaahio nĩ thakame yao.
And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
39 Nĩmethaahirie o ene nĩ gwĩka ũguo meekire; na ũndũ wa ciĩko ciao makĩhũũra ũmaraya.
Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.
40 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩrakarĩra andũ ake, na agĩthũũra igai rĩake mũno.
Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.
41 Akĩmaneana kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo maathagwo nĩ thũ ciao.
And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Thũ ciao ikĩmahinyĩrĩria, na ikĩmaiga rungu rwa wathani wao.
Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 Nake akĩmateithũra mahinda maingĩ, no-o makĩrema, makĩrikĩra mehia-inĩ mao.
Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.
44 Nowe akĩona mĩnyamaro yao rĩrĩa aaiguire magĩkaya;
Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:
45 nĩ ũndũ wao akĩririkana kĩrĩkanĩro gĩake, na nĩ ũndũ wa wendo wake mũnene akĩringwo nĩ tha.
And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
46 Agĩtũma maiguĩrwo tha nĩ arĩa othe maamatahĩte.
He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.
47 Tũhonokie, Wee Jehova Ngai witũ, na ũtũcookanĩrĩrie ũtũrute kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo tũcookagĩrie rĩĩtwa rĩaku itheru ngaatho, na twĩrahagĩre ũgooci waku.
Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.
48 Jehova arogoocwo, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, kuuma tene wa tene, nginya o tene na tene. Nao andũ othe nĩmakiuge, “Ameni!” Goocai Jehova.
Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.
